Moon Base 13, The Moon: NASA Is In Kinga Forrester's Pocket

Something I've been wondering a while now, but why is this thread even here? Seems it would be better suited for general, no? There doesn't seem to be any politicking about.

The original post was about NASA, which is a government agency, and at the time NASA's budget was ramping up to be a political matter.

Which was pretty hilarious, seeing as how little money we get. Give us more funds!!! With this administration though trying to turn off "climate change" sensors on some satellites probably good to keep it in Politics

They launched a rocket today with no attempt to retrieve it.

I don’t think I will be able to concentrate at work today because of this launch lol.

[TsingTao]

Updated potential launch to 3:05 p.m. EST. And no...I won't get shit done at work then either.

[TummieGaruda]

Pushed back again to 3:45pm EST. They are right up against the end of the launch window which ends at 4pm EST.

I was out on a site visit during the original flight time, so I'm super stoked it got pushed back to 3:45EST now that I'm back in the office. Needless to say nothing is going to get done in the next hour if we are still Go.

[TummieGaruda]

Damn lets do this. Elon said if it stays aloft more than 20 seconds without RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly) then he considers it a success.

[TsingTao]

T-11min ish. Loading propellant now, getting ready for final engine checks.

[TummieGaruda]

Oh shi they put their own voyager record inside the Roadster inside the Falcon Heavy...

[TsingTao]

Yeah, plus their new space suit design on someone in the driver's seat of Elon's roadster. Cool.

A billion year orbit around the sun if everything actually goes well. Even cooler.

[Zetanio]
